What new food did Brian find?

• A. Seaweed
• B. Berries
• C. Turtle eggs
• D. Fish

Answer: (C)

Finding turtle eggs shows Brian expanding his survival toolkit by recognizing a new, edible food source right by the shoreline. He spots the nest, cracks the shells with his hatchet, and eats the eggs, gaining a quick, protein-rich nutrition that helps him when other foods are scarce. This moment highlights his growing ability to identify edible resources in the wild and to use his tools creatively to obtain them, moving beyond the berries he already knew and the fish he learns to catch. Seaweed isn’t described as a notable new food at this point, and berries or fish are foods he’s already encountered or been able to obtain, making turtle eggs the new food he discovers.
